Abstract

To characterize chromosomes and the interspecific relationships within the genusKengyilia, 8 species were used for Giemsa C-banding analysis. Results indicated that the species differed in C-banding patterns.K. gobicola, K. alatavica andK. batalinii had distinct centromeric bands and no banded chromosomes, whileK. hirsuta, K. longiglumis, K. melanthera, K. rigidula andK. thoroldiana had more abundant and diagnostic C-bands with interstitial and terminal bands.
